Winter in Jasper National Park

Jasper National Park

The winter season in Jasper National Park is such a beautiful time to visit. From our snow-covered mountain peaks to our lightly dusted forests, the landscape is a winter wonderland awaiting adventure.

Most requested

Get your winter activity fix and venture out on our extensive trail system. From snowshoeing to cross-country skiing to fat biking, the park offers trails for all levels of ability.

Visit popular landmarks like Maligne Canyon, Maligne Lake, Pyramid Island, Athabasca Falls and Sunwapta Falls and enjoy a quieter time of year and some of the most glorious scenery you will see in Jasper (and if you’re lucky winter wildlife along the way).

Thank you for not walking, snowshoeing or biking on ski trails.
